I've read that the new models in the market are nowhere as good as the old ones.  Is this true?

Thanks guys for the confirmation.  I haven't been this this web for nearly half a decade, so things have changed a bit.   I've already owned 2 of these.  One got sucked into my bicycle chain and the other I gave away to my dad and he is loving the fit.   I'm going to order the M6, but since...

Can anyone confirm if the S6P has better quality tips than the m6?

I like mine flat but wide, fast and detailed with reasonably good imaging.

271s are marketed for Pro Audio and the 272 version is for Hi-Fi market.
